A HUMAN RACE – THE RITE OF KRUMP

About
With full force and yet virtuosic, the dancers protest against social inequality and discrimination. The dance style Krump is danced resistance, born in the black community of L.A. To the highly emotional music "Le Sacre du printemps" the dance becomes an expression of inner contradictions, abysses and unspeakable states of each individual. It unites the group in a common struggle for freedom, participation and recognition. Dancing to survive.
Krump is a creative outlet for aggression. The anger over the wounds caused by exclusion and racism is danced away. Krump is also a refuge that provides a family structure for young people around the world. At the same time, the dance style is a form of self-empowerment in the face of feelings of powerlessness in the face of experienced racist violence.
Grichka Caruge is a multiple world champion and one of the best Krumpers in Europe. Together with five dancers from the international scene, he tells a story of empowerment with this production.
